The Albright Electric Fireplace Entertainment Center in Espresso is an incredibly handsome and modern-looking media console. The clean and crisp lines, deep espresso finish, glass and brushed metal surfaces, polished nickel door pulls, and other innovative design features give this media center a very contemporary aesthetic appeal. The stand also provides an excellent place to display and house your television, electronics and other entertainment accessories, keeping everything well organized.

Bringing this entertainment center even further into the future, the console also includes a 26" customizable flame effect firebox that lets you choose from 5 colors (SpectraFire, Indigo, Violet, Traditional or Blue), speeds and brightness levels. Electronic flames lick glowing-red logs over a bed of pulsating embers that will mesmerize you as you relax and take in your favorite movies and TV shows. The flame can be used independently from the supplemental heater, which provides a great way to achieve zone heating in your home. A remote controller is available to turn the heat on and off and to set the automatic timer, which can initiate the two minute fade out anywhere from thirty minutes to nine hours after it is set. Included in the Safer Plug technology that automatically turns off power to the unit should the plug/wall outlet begin to overheat, preventing any damage.

Safer Socket is a preventative device that protects your home and loved ones from the hidden dangers of an electrical fire that can be started from overheated wall sockets & plugs. Home wiring isn't all the same. Depending on the age of your home and the size of your breaker you may be at risk for potential electrical damage. Safer Socket continuously monitors the internal temperature of the plug and automatically turns it off if overheating begins to occur, preventing a potential fire before it can happen.

With the MantelMount Pull Down TV Mount you're able to easily bring your TV down and out for an eye level viewing experience free from glare. MantelMount can be easily mounted to traditional walls as well as stone or brick fireplaces using concrete anchors.

This is a very nice fireplace. I had been researching fireplaces for several months and making sure I got the best "fireplace for my money". I feel I made an excellent choice. Honestly I haven't used the fireplace very much because its summer time right now, but I do hope that it gives off a little heat while in use.

Don't think by me giving it 4 stars that it is saying there is something wrong with this fireplace. I just gave it 4 stars because I haven't had the chance to use it much yet. I just think for something to get 5 stars it has to be the best thing, why I love this thing I just don't see it has the best.

I'm very happy and satisfied with this fireplace and wish I could give it 4.5 stars, but I can't give "half stars".

Only thing I would suggest is take your time installing it, the instructions which are pretty easy to understand, they did have me put one piece on wrong. After visualizing in my head how it was supposed to be set up I realized it was wrong. So take your time and it will take about 3 hours to put together. Also it's very heavy so helps to have someone to help you lift it.
